Chapter 599

Gu Chen just watched all this coldly. He didn't pick up a glass, nor did he speak. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Xiao Jing was different from the others. He was the biggest contributor to Gu Chen's being hunted down by so many people.

To be honest, if they were in another place, he would even kill him directly without being noticed by the Tiandao Sect. How could he choose to forgive him?

Seeing Gu Chen ignore him, Xiao Jing's face turned red and white, but he held back his anger and left awkwardly.

As soon as he left, the three of them looked at each other.

"Cousin Gu Chen, you're amazing. I know Xiao Jing. Tiandao Sect has high hopes for him. He's talented and arrogant, but he's so humble in front of you."

Gu Shenming exclaimed in admiration.

"I'm afraid it's not that I'm amazing. There's something fishy about this." Gu Chen was deep in thought.

After the banquet, Ding Yao came to the three of them and led them upstairs to the trade fair.

Although there were many guests at the banquet tonight, only a few could participate in the trade fair. Without a certain background and wealth, they were not qualified at all.

Many of the people present were inherited disciples of the major Celestial Sects. Gu Chen knew one-third of them. They had all come to toast him tonight.

The trade fair soon began. Everyone took out their treasures and stated their conditions. Some wanted to exchange for magic treasures and elixirs that were useful to them, while others simply wanted to exchange for Yuan Crystals.

Gu Chen and the other two also took out the tens of thousands of years old herbs they had obtained in the Secret Territory of the Ancestor's Land. Everyone present was rich, so it was easy for them to get a high price.

Because the herbs they got were very old and rare, they could be used to refine many practical elixirs, so they were very popular.

Among them, the most popular was Gu Chen's elixirs. Every time he took out a herb, the final price was 75 to 85 percent higher than Gu Ziyan's and Gu Shenming's.

At first, he thought he was lucky. Later, when he took out the same herbs as Gu Ziyan, but the final price was higher than hers, he realized something was wrong.

He found that most of the people who bought his herbs were inherited disciples of the Celestial Sects who had offended him before. For example, Ding Yao bought his herbs at half the market price.

And Xiao Jing was even funnier. He had a herb of poor quality, which could be used to refine rare elixirs, but he also bought it at double the price of others.

They were good examples of people with too much money. Gu Chen and the other two looked at each other and whispered.

"Cousin Gu Chen, could it be that they deliberately bought the herbs at a high price to please you so that you won't care about their mistakes?"

"Alas, if I had known this earlier, I would have asked Gu Chen to help me auction it. In this way, I could have made several times more profits out of thin air."

Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming were puzzled. Even if this group of people had a misunderstanding with Gu Chen, they had already drunk the wine of apology. There was no need to flatter him to such an extent!

. "Gu Chen also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Those who didn't know would think that he was so powerful that he could make the inherited disciples of the major Celestial Sects so humble.

But the fact was, although he had a firm foothold in the Gu Clan, he was still unknown in the whole continent.

"No matter what their intentions are, they will reveal their motives sooner or later. Since they want me to get rich, I will accept it. "

Gu Chen sneered and decided to accept them.

The trade fair ended quickly. Gu Chen made a lot of money. The profit was double what he had expected.

He got a lot of crystals and exchanged them for a bunch of fifth-tier elixirs that could increase his cultivation. He wouldn't be short of cultivation resources for a long time.

"Brother Gu, can you move to the box for a chat? My senior brother wants to see you."

When the auction was over, Xiao Jing, who had just been taken advantage of, came to the door and said to Gu Chen with a fawning expression.

"Your senior brother? Who? "Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.

"The one you met at Penglai Immortal Island. My Tiandao Sect's First Senior Brother, Zuo Chunqiu," Xiao Jing explained.

"Zuo Chunqiu?"

Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming were shocked. As one of the top ten geniuses of the continent, Zuo Chunqiu was even more famous than Cousin Lianyue on the Prodigy Roll.

Everyone recognized him as the future Sect Leader of Tiandao Sect, and Tiandao Sect's strength could definitely be ranked in the top three among the 68 Celestial Sects.

In other words, someone like Zuo Chunqiu would become a top powerhouse in the Immortal Spirit Continent sooner or later. It was because he was so powerful that even Gu Zhaixing wanted to challenge him.

Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming were surprised that Zuo Chunqiu would make an appointment to meet Gu Chen.

Logically speaking, Gu Chen had just returned from overseas and shouldn't have any interaction with him.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes. He vaguely understood who was the mastermind behind everything that had happened tonight.

Perhaps only Zuo Chunqiu had the power to make the true disciples of the major Celestial Sects apologize to him and make a fortune.

He couldn't help but speculate. The last time they met, they had barely spoken. What was his purpose in treating him like this?

If one was unaccountably solicitous, he would be hiding something. Gu Chen realized that Zuo Chunqiu must be plotting something.

"Okay, lead the way."

Gu Chen asked Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming to go back first, while he followed Xiao Jing to a private room on the top floor of the restaurant.

He wasn't worried that Zuo Chunqiu was plotting something. This was the Immortal Ascension Grand Ceremony. The elders of the Gu Clan were all present. Even if he was the future Sect Leader of Tiandao Sect, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.

When Gu Chen entered the private room, Zuo Chunqiu had obviously been waiting for a long time. He stood up immediately and greeted Gu Chen.

He had a head of conspicuous short silver hair, slender eyes, and a harmless smile on his face all the time.

"Frined Gu, we meet again. Things are really different now. You look much more energetic than before."

Zuo Chunqiu seemed very enthusiastic, as if they were friends.

Gu Chen knew that Zuo Chunqiu had seen that he had solved the life-threatening crisis, so he didn't say anything more. He sat down and asked directly.

"Did you arrange all of this tonight, Fellow Daoist Zuo?"

Zuo Chunqiu smiled and didn't refute. "Are you satisfied, Frined Gu?"

Gu Chen smiled without saying anything. How could he not be satisfied? A group of true disciples of the Celestial Sects had given him face and made him a lot of Raw Crystals. Anyone would be happy.

But this actually showed Zuo Chunqiu's influence and means. It was okay for Xiao Jing to accept it, but the disciples of the other Celestial Sects also gave him face.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo is treating me with such courtesy, I'm truly overwhelmed by your favor. If you have something to say, just say it. If I can do it, I will try my best to agree. "Gu Chen showed his politeness and propriety.

"Frined Gu is really a straightforward person. Since you said so, I won't hide it anymore."

Zuo Chunqiu's smile faded a little and he said seriously.
